Minimalistic pixel-art theme for Godot 4.2. Originally by Flatus @ Itch.io.

WASTE NO SPACE

Waste No Space is a theme for Godot projects, originally by Flatus at Itch.io. I've upgraded it to work with Godot 4.2 since they don't seem to be developing it anymore and made some minor adjustments I felt made things look cleaner. Also includes an Aseprite file for the GUI's spritesheet.

Installation

Clone or download the repository and copy addons/ into the root of your project folder.

Configuration

Applying the theme

• If you would like to apply the theme to your entire project, you can do so by navigating to Project > Project Settings... > General (Make sure "Advanced Settings" is checked) > GUI > Theme > Custom and use the file dialog to select waste_no_space.tres.

• If you would like to apply this theme to specific controls, do so from Inspector > Control > Theme > Theme and either drag waste_no_space.tres into the dropdown or select it using the Load option.

Configuring texture filtering

If the UI elements look blurry, you have two options: either disable texture filtering for the entire project, or for the parent CanvasItem of your GUI.

• To disable texture filtering for the entire project, go to Project > Project Settings... > General > Rendering > Textures > Default Texture Filter and select "Nearest".

• To disable texture filtering for specific controls navigate to the highest-level node in your GUI's tree that has the CanvasItem class and in the inspector navigate to CanvasItem > Texture > Filter where you should select "Nearest".

Scaling the UI

By default, the ui elements are pretty small. This isn't an issue if you're working on a pixel art game with a low viewport size but for most other use cases it's a problem. There are two methods for scaling it up:

• Per-control: Select the parent control of your UI elements, and then in the inspector navigate to Control > Layout > Transform > Scale and increase as needed.

• For the entire game: Navigate to Project > Project Settings... > Display > Window > Scale and increase as needed.

I typically use a scale of 2-3 for a 1920x1080 viewport size. If you're unsure of which method to use, you should read Multiple Resolutions in the Godot docs.
